These artists, whose works are on display from August 27 until September 13, are interconnected through their utilization of natural materials and metals in their pieces.

The sculptures examine the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, ultimately connecting the artist and the viewer to each other and the natural world. Elements of Equilibrium
